Syntax
INT is_SetColorConverter (HIDS hCam, INT ColorMode, INT ConvertMode)
Description
Using is_SetColorConverter, you can select the type of Bayer conversion for colour cameras.
Software conversion is done on the PC, while hardware conversion (not supported by Thorlabs DCx
cameras) is done in the camera. The use of a larger filter mask results in a higher image quality, but
increases the computational load. For further information, please refer to the Camera Basics: Colour
Filters chapter.
Hardware conversion is not supported by DCx cameras.
While free run mode is active, you cannot change the colour conversion type. To do so, you must
first stop the capturing process using is_StopLiveVideo() or set the camera to trigger mode
(see also is_SetExternalTrigger() ).
